Golf cards su ort Assoc.
By Sandra Clark
First I need to make a small cor-
rection. The picture of Alon and me
was taken at his parents' home in
Ganim in the West Bank.
I don't know know how to tell you
about this past week. I certainly can't
remember it in order.
We got on the bus at 4:45 a.m. to
go to the Dead Sea area. It's not very
far away but we were stopping at a
beautiful outlook for a sunrise serv-
ice.
At Masada we took the cable car
over to the mountain top where
Herod had built his palace. This is
the place where, when faced with
slavery to the Romans, the Jews
decided death would be better. They
fought a long battle to keep the
Romans off the mountain but with
the help of battering rams the
Romans broke down the walls.
As this was beeoming more obvi-
ous 10 of the Jews killed all the oth-
ers. These 10 then drew lots to see
who would be the last alive. He
killed the nine and then fell on his
own sword.
All that has been found was the
skeletons of a couple of women and
children.
We also went to Qum Ran where
the Dead Sea scrolls were found and
to the spot that is supposedly the pil-
lar of salt that was Lot's wife. We had
dinner at a beautiful seaside resort
and a number of the folks went
swimming in the Dead Sea.
We have also been to Bethlehem,
Shepherds' Fields and Bet Zahour.
Shepherds' Fields is the location of
the caves where the shepherds took
shelter from the weather.
We were the only tour bus in
Bethlehem. The tourist police were
very solicitous toward us and let us
take our bus right up to the Church of
the Nativity. I'll have pictures when
I come home.
St. Catherine's Church, which is
built onto the side of it, is where the
Christmas Eve services are held.
There are dozens of rules that keep
the various denominations from
usurping the rights of the other
denominations - no, not the people -
the priests.
At Bet Zahour we divided into
small groups and had lunch with
Palestinian families in their homes.
Trust me — we know nothing about
hospitality in our society. These peo-
ple are amazing. I am learning some
of their attitudes.
Our host was a member of the
olive wood co-operative. His carv-
ings are beautiful. He took us down
to his workshop. I got a couple to
bring home. We had gone to their
store prior to this. Things are so bad
they have closed the store but will
open up if a group is coming and
calls ahead.
The man in charge thanked our co-
ordinator about five times for bring-
ing us. The street vendors were prac-
tically begging us to buy their wares.
They are having a very hard time
with the current situation.
We study six hours a day. Our trips
are included as we learn things that
are pertinent to our studies here.
Tonight we go to the synagogue,
then come back for a special Shabbat
meal.
The time is passing so quickly. We
are now half way through our time
Some Christmas presents just take
your breath away — the 2002 Lung

Lung Association Golf Tournament

cause of death in Canada.
Golf Privilege Cards are valid

for the golfer on your list. To order
the 2002 Golf Privilege Card or for
